The exhibition was warmly welcomed by different walks of visitors. The exhibition will be open to public in Belgium by January 2002.

Last time the exhibition was held for 9 months in Germany Federal Art Gallery in Bonn and on average 2500 visitors paid visit which as the officials in the gallery admitted, such huge numbers of visitors had been unprecedented, said Mohammad Reza Karegar, the director of Iran’s national museum.

It is noteworthy that concurrent with the exhibition two other exhibition on Turkish and American arts were on display in other galleries which were entirely overshadowed by Iranian art and history and uniqueness of the displayed objects.
